Oakland’s Black Panther Apartments Marks Accelerator Program Milestone (Video)

Oakland, CA —  HCD recently celebrated a major milestone for the California Housing Accelerator Program, as the Black Panther Apartments became the first Accelerator-funded project to celebrate its grand opening. The Black Panther brings 78 supportive affordable homes for low-income residents to the City of Oakland.

The project, led by former Black Panther chair Elaine Brown and developed by McCormack Baron Salazar, brings much-needed housing and retail space to the West Oakland neighborhood with the goal of revitalizing a once-thriving community.
